CPL has partnered with Buncombe County for more than fifteen years, delivering high-performance solutions across its facilities. As the first project built under the County’s sustainability mandate, the Fleet Services Complex represents a major milestone.
The five-acre Fleet Services Complex will feature a 22,000-square-foot, two-story, fully electrified building with rooftop solar. It will bring together the County’s Fleet, General Services and Grounds departments—previously dispersed across multiple sites—into one location, improving coordination across transportation, maintenance and service workflows.
The facility’s program spaces will include vehicle garages and charging stations, service bays, conference rooms, training and parts storage areas, offices, support and tool rooms, temperature-controlled bulk and equipment storage, touchdown spaces, and interior and exterior wash and detailing areas.
Prioritizing energy performance and indoor environmental quality, the facility achieves near net zero energy and establishes a benchmark for future County development. As it nears completion, it is set to reflect Buncombe County’s long-term commitment to sustainable building practices.
